Recombinant human KLF12 protein

KLF12, as known as Krueppel-like factor 12, is a member of the Kruppel-like zinc finger protein family and can repress expression of the AP-2 alpha gene by binding to a specific site in the AP-2 alpha gene promoter. Activator protein-2 alpha (AP-2 alpha) is a developmentally-regulated transcription factor and important regulator of gene expression during vertebrate development and carcinogenesis. Repression by the encoded protein requires binding with a corepressor, CtBP1. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. cers. Recombinant human KLF12 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli.
